John Varvatos

Literary gatherings are not everyone’s cup of tea when it comes to celebrations, but when you throw rock ’n’ roll and retail into the equation, the lure of the written word is hard to resist. There weren’t many of what we would call “book types” at the release for John Varvatos’ Rock in Fashion at the designer’s Lincoln Road boutique, but the party was a success nonetheless. Varvatos welcomed guests like Fabian Basabe, Cory McCormack, Stacy Milon and Samantha Shorter to his store for music, shopping and lots of mingling. In between signing copies of it, the designer shared stories from the tome as guests perused the racks of men’s fashion. And, just like that, another Miami party story was written. –‌Photography by Getty Images
